Venue security being re-evaluated after Las Vegas shooting massacre
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- From a planning and safety standpoint, the more people you pack into an area also means more security risks.
Rob Jackson, with Houston First, said event producers and promoters are usually in charge of a security plan, but law enforcement works hand in hand to oversee safety. That is important for areas like downtown Houston with so many venues close together.
Houston First manages the George R. Brown Convention Center, Miller Outdoor Theatre, Jones Hall and more.
"Security is always a challenge," Jackson said.
